Tyrannosaur

British actor Paddy Considine made his writing and directing debut with this gritty redemption tale. A lonely man with a violent streak on a downward spiral finds a way to redeem himself when he meets a gentle woman who's in a abusive relationship. While the story is not groundbreaking, Considine shows great skill with his debut that features powerful performances by its stellar cast. Peter Mullan gives a raw portrayal of a man on a path of self-destruction while Olivia Colman delivers a shattering performance as the abused woman whose fragility is heartbreaking. The supporting cast of includes Eddie Marsan amongst others. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
